    Are the lakers a good play on sunday at +3?

    Heat have owned them for a few games but i think the lakers might cover here. They are unreal at home. Just because the heat lost in Utah it does not mean they win here for sure. This is a huge game. I think taking the points here is wise.

    I like the Heat here. They are simply a much better team, not been impressed with the Lakers at all

    I could see LA getting up for this game and beating the Heat. But you'd have to imagine that LeBron wants this one bad. Any news on Bosh?

    Rotoworld world says he could return vs Lakers, sounds to me like he will be playing. Such a big game too

    Bosh is a huge mismatch for the Lakers. Gasol gets constantly owned by the guy. Kobe really struggles against Lebron because he's so much bigger and will probably guard him comes clutch time.

    Only way LA wins or covers this is if Lakers' bench play well which hasn't happened all year.

    Also Bynum has to absolutely be flawless.

    Line should be a pk if you consider Heat was -5.5 at home but it's -3. That is saying something.

    No matter how much effort the Lakers put into the game, they are extremely weak @positions vs Lebron/Wade. Those are the only guys that matter. Lakers athleticism on the perimeter is non existent. Starting Derek Fisher and Artest exaggerates the Lakers lack of quickness @ all positions. Lakers strength lies in their big men, Bynum/Gasol. If the game has a slow pace, then Bynum/Gasol can hurt the heat. If not, then the game is over. When motivated the Heat blow out teams, with the best fast break I have seen in a long time. I think the heat will control the pace running the Lakers out the gym.

    I will be on the Heat for at least 7-10 units tomorrow and I just had a 0-6 night. Fade accordingly.

    I like the Heat, but only if Bosh plays. Without Bosh, Bynum and Gasol could be a problem down low. I still can't confirm if Bosh is playing. Watched line go from -2 to -2 1/2 to now -3. Guess people are counting on Bosh to play?

    I don't have any data to support this, but I seem to recall players and teams performing well after a death in the family. Can see them dedicating the game to Bosh's Grandmother. If he plays, he will be relieved to rejoin his team and simply focus on the game. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go off. Should be a welcome shot of energy to a good team coming off a loss.

    I was on the Heat against the Jazz. Would actually like to see them lose and Bulls win, to gain a game in the race for home court. Anything can happen, but hard to see Heat losing two in a row. I like my chances laying the small number with the Heat. Should be a good game.

    It all depends on Bosh. I had Heat projected -2 , considering that he was playing. You'd almost have to see Laker money coming in, if he doesn't play.

    Wouldn't you have to say Lakers PK with no Bosh? Bosh sure seemed worth more than 2-3 vs Jazz.

    Yeah something tells me this goes to the last shot. NBA needs a great game like this for the ratings after the letdown of NY/MIA a week ago.

    Watchout for Kobe he might put up 100pts.. I'm very confident lakers will win. They shouldn't let Miami win again at staples. Kobe will run the show.

    this is the way i see it... miami takes the early lead. kobe gets frustrated and starts to hog the ball. rest of the team just watches kobe. kobe shoots 9 for 32. miami wins by 12.

    Lakers gonna or should pound the ball down low every trip down the floor to Gasol and Bynum and they would eventually foul out Miami or have them in foul trouble on the bench, but with you know who handling the ball such a thing will happen about 10% of the time.
